Employers and Paid Sick Days

Already, more than 100 businesses of different sizes and industries have supported paid sick days. Businesses that provide paid sick days benefit from reduced turnover, lower recruitment costs, increased productivity, and reduced absenteeism. But 40 percent of private sector workers in the U.S. lack any paid sick days.

More than 100 employers on the following list support paid sick days. In most states listed, there is an active paid sick days campaign. You can find out more about the campaigns by visiting the National Partnership for Women and Families. For more stories about employees and some employers, please visit the story bank at the Family Values at Work Consortium.

A new group of businesses is taking the lead in showing that it's possible to be both profitable and take care of employees. The Business Advisory Group supports paid sick days as a basic minimum standard for all workers. The members are trusted business owners who serve as a resource to other businesses and advocates. If you or your business has a question for the Advisory Group, please contact Andrea Lindemann at alindemann@clasp.org.

Group members include: Guerra DeBerry Coody (GDG); Community IT Innovators (CITI); Cargo Coffee; Beadazzled; Bi-Rite; The Hatcher Group; and U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce
